Directions for making/booting live CD.
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 1:50 am
I have read a couple dozen questions/answers looking for my problem.
I know what 'alpha' means.
I have a Dell Dimension 4700 that runs XP very nicely.
I would like to make and boot a CD (actually, DVD-R) to see what ReactOS looks like. No chance I want to install it now -- very unlikely there's enough function.
I've downloaded a 'live CD' image -- current, I think. Burned it to a DVD-R. Attempted to boot. It tried but quit 'unable to find freeldr' or something like that.
I'm thinking I need step-by-step directions for doing this.
AND: Does ANY USB support work? I'm currently using USB keyboard and mouse but could go PS/2 if need be.
As an aside: In reading here it's clear that there are A LOT of very basic questions (like mine!) that could well be answered in a 'Newbies Read This First' post. I looked -- I didn't find one.
THANK YOU!
